History for Erling Haaland! Man City striker becomes Norway’s all-time top scorer with brace in first game as captain
Erling Haaland has cemented his place in football history by becoming Norway’s all-time top scorer after netting twice in their Nations League match against Slovenia.
The Manchester City striker opened the scoring in the seventh minute, tying Norway legend Jørgen Juve’s record of 33 international goals. Haaland then added a second goal just after the hour mark, taking his tally to 34 goals in just 36 appearances for Norway, surpassing Juve’s record, which had stood since 1934.
Haaland, known for his incredible goal-scoring ability at both club and international levels, continues to dominate the football world.
With 256 goals in 308 club appearances, he has already made a significant mark on the sport.
At just 24 years old, his record-breaking achievements highlight his status as one of the best strikers in the world, with much more expected from him in the future.
After breaking the 90-year-old record, Haaland could be set to feature in Norway’s upcoming match against Austria. Norway currently leads their Nations League group, and Haaland’s form will be crucial in maintaining their momentum.
